Synthesis of 2 h-chromenes via hydrazine-catalyzed ring-closing carbonyl-olefin metathesis

The catalytic ring-closing carbonyl-olefin metathesis (RCCOM) of O-Allyl salicylaldehydes to form 2H-chromenes is described. The method utilizes a [2.2.1]-bicyclic hydrazine catalyst and operates via a [3 + 2]/retro-[3 + 2] metathesis manifold. The nature of the allyl substitution pattern was found to be crucial, with sterically demanding groups such as adamantylidene or diethylidene offering optimal outcomes. A survey of substrate scope is shown along with a discussion of mechanism supported by DFT calculations. Steric pressure arising from syn-pentane minimization of the diethylidene moiety is proposed to facilitate cycloreversion.

Gold nanoparticles supported on TiO2 catalyse the cycloisomerisation/oxidative dimerisation of aryl propargyl ethers

Gold nanoparticles supported on TiO2 (～1%) catalyse in high yields the selective cycloisomerisation of aryl propargyl ethers into the corresponding 2H-chromenes, under heterogeneous conditions. 2H,2′H-3, 3′-Bichromenes resulting from a catalytic oxidative dimerization pathway are also formed as by-products.

The Au(I)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of terminal alkynes under mild conditions: Application to the synthesis of 2H-chromenes, coumarins, benzofurans, and dihydroquinolines

(Chemical Equation Presented) Operationally simple Au(I)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation (IMHA) reactions of terminal alkynes that proceed in high yield and under very mild conditions are described. These processes involve low catalyst loadings, mild reaction temperatures, and short reaction times, require no cocatalysts or additives, and allow for the generation of a number of important heterocyclic motifs from readily accessible starting materials.
